I have a team available right now, if someone wants to bring in some top notch mobile developers who know React Native / Expo inside and out! Let me know if you have a project that could benefit from Infinite Red engineers. I’d love to chat with you.

@Manstarlol it's all in good fun. I agree CS majors get a bad wrap, but I like to wear it like armor. It makes my limited EQ that more impressive :D

@GantLaborde I hate this depiction of nerd that just spouts out buzzwords. A real computer scientist would understand that the problem statement doesn't want you to guess the correct answer in least amount of guesses, but wants to guess the closest to right answer in a singular guess.

Computer scientist: Well, binary search is the most practical way. So for a value of 1 to 100 I’ll say … 50? Woman who asked me to guess her age:

@lthlnkso That's somewhat the joke though right? A Comp Sci dev would skip the probability, regarding a search O(log 100).

To properly apply binary search you try to split the probability mass in half, not, necessarily, the range. You only split the range in half when you have no prior on the location of the target. To do binary search on someone's age you'd use the median point estimate of your prior on their age, not half of lifespan.

@GantLaborde I used work for a company whose database abstraction was a single 20k-25k LOC file that nobody dared to touch anymore. First commit was in the early 2000s and anyone can probably imagine how horrible it was debugging DB queries.

@GantLaborde @frankcalise @ChainReactConf Can confirm the last part! haha just kidding One of my favorite stories was when I was a first-time speaker at a Ruby conference in 2014. Gant welcomed me to the speaker dinner with a huge hug (never met the guy beforehand). It instantly disarmed me and made it awesome.

One of the best things to witness at a conference - watching first time speakers come up to him and ask for advice. They go from having nerves to feeling confident in a matter of minutes. Then you see them on stage later that day and nail their presentation. It's fantastic to see
